USER MANUAL

Please Read This Notice
Successful application of this module requires a reasonable working knowledge of the Rockwell Automation PLC
hardware, the MVI71-DNPSNET Module and the application in which the combination is to be used. For this reason,
it is important that those responsible for implementation satisfy themselves that the combination will meet the needs
of the application without exposing personnel or equipment to unsafe or inappropriate working conditions.
This manual is provided to assist the user. Every attempt has been made to ensure that the information provided is
accurate and a true reflection of the product's installation requirements. In order to ensure a complete understanding
of the operation of the product, the user should read all applicable Rockwell Automation documentation on the
operation of the Rockwell Automation hardware.
Under no conditions will ProSoft Technology be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting
from the use or application of the product.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written permission from ProSoft Technology
is prohibited.
Information in this manual is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of
ProSoft Technology Improvements and/or changes in this manual or the product may be made at any time. These
changes will be made periodically to correct technical inaccuracies or typographical errors.
Warning: This module is not hot-swappable! Always remove power from the rack before inserting or removing this
module, or damage may result to the module, the processor, or other connected devices.
Power, Input, and Output (I/O) wiring must be in accordance with Class 1, Division 2 wiring
methods, Article 501-4 (b) of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 for installation in the U.S.,
or as specified in Section 18-1J2 of the Canadian Electrical Code for installations in Canada,
and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.
A Warning - Explosion Hazard - Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class 1, Division 2.
B Warning - Explosion Hazard - When in hazardous locations, turn off power before replacing or wiring modules.
C Warning - Explosion Hazard - Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is
known to be non-hazardous.

Battery Life Advisory
All modules in the MVI series use a rechargeable Lithium Vanadium Pentoxide battery to backup the 512K SRAM
memory, real-time clock, and CMOS. The battery should last for the life of the module.
The module must be powered for approximately twenty hours before it becomes fully charged. After it is fully charged,
the battery provides backup power for the CMOS setup and configuration data, the real-time clock, and the 512K
SRAM memory for approximately 21 days.
Before you remove a module from its power source, ensure that the battery within the module is fully charged. A fully
charged battery will hold the BIOS settings (after being removed from its power source) for a limited number of days.
When the battery is fully discharged, the module will revert to the default BIOS settings.
Note: The battery is not user replaceable.
